New Blood Brings Life to the Building
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of new energy and ideas entering a space. And when that space is a building, it’s even more important that it remains strong and sturdy to welcome the fresh blood.
Change is necessary for growth and progress, and bringing in new people can be just the catalyst a building needs to thrive. Whether it’s a new employee, a new tenant, or a new owner, their presence can inject new life into the building and its community.
But it’s not just about the excitement of something new. It’s also crucial that the building is able to support and sustain this new energy. A strong foundation and proper maintenance are essential for the building to continue standing tall and welcoming new faces.
So, let’s welcome the new blood with open arms and ensure that our building is ready to embrace the change and flourish with it. After all, a building is more than just bricks and mortar, it’s a living, breathing entity that thrives on the people within it.

If You Thought Watching the Cardinals Get Swept by the Yankees Was Bad, Imagine Being in the Dugout During the Inferno
If you spent your weekend watching the St. Louis Cardinals get swept by the New York Yankees, you may have felt a sense of senioritis in the air. But for those in the dugout, it was a different story. With a two-man bench and scorching summer temperatures, the Cardinals had to navigate through a tough series.
But it’s not as simple as it seems. The team had to make tough decisions about injured players Willson Contreras and Brendan Donovan. They ultimately decided to give them time to recover, even if it meant keeping potential replacements on the roster for longer than necessary.
Contreras returned to the lineup on Monday, but Donovan ended up on the injured list. This gamble resulted in a .500 record, which may not be ideal but could be acceptable if the team achieved their goal of using this season to learn more about their young players.
While some progress has been made in this area, it may not be enough. The most important task for departing president of baseball operations John Mozeliak was to set up a clear path for his designated successor, Chaim Bloom. However, it seems that this goal was not fully achieved, leading to roster complications.
In fairness to Mozeliak, he did negotiate a trade agreement with the Houston Astros for Nolan Arenado, but the third baseman ultimately vetoed the deal. This left the organization scrambling and unable to make any other significant moves. As Arenado’s performance continues to struggle, Bloom will have the difficult task of finding a solution that will satisfy both the team and the fans.
It’s impossible to say whether a different executive could have handled the situation better, but one thing is for sure: Chaim Bloom will be taking over as the Cardinals’ President of Baseball Operations at the end of the 2025 season, replacing John Mozeliak.
